mitt romney and jon huntsman were in new hampshire. others were in ohio. in addition to political considerations to be in these places at this time, all the rows of campaign financial decisions helping fuel these decisions for them? romney in huntsman, for example, spending more time in new hampshire. guest: absolutely, and it comes down to this organization to the tea party. it cost a lot of money to make an effort to win in a caucus state like iowa. i know it is not just a caucus state, but one that has a very heavy emphasis in the republican party on social issues, where mitt romney and jon huntsman are seen as susceptible to a challenge from the right. they are seen as more moderate and cast themselves as appealing more to independent in swing voters. in iowa, they have to do a cost- benefit analysis. they have to decide is it worth it to put the number of boots on the ground, to make a run of running, not just the caucus in early next year or early february, but to win the straw polls that happens in august, seen as a key indicator for the caucuses in

republican mitt romney and jon huntsman met face to face. what did they say? >> it was a nice exchange, a nice greeting. wishing each other luck and being friends. that's the way that all the candidates on the republican side should be. >> reporter: halfway across the country in clear lake, iowa, two other candidates enjoyed the same parade though hardly the same crowds. >> hi there. happy fourth of july. >> reporter: the surging michele bachmann was surrounded by a sparkly throng of supporters and a sparkly new campaign bus. newt gingrich was surrounded by his wife and this sign. the fourth is a glorious day for all americans including candidates. for them, it may be a chance to take a break from their recent big obsession, cash. mitt romney expects to come in somewhere south of 20 million. tim pawlenty, jon huntsman and ron paul all way souththf that. around 4 million apiece. meanwhile, president obama could raise as much as 60 million, though he spent the day with men and women whose value is beyond priceless. >> i cannot think of anybody i would rather cel

sharing the spotlight in amherst was former utah governor jon huntsman, the most moderate of the candidates vying for the anti-romney vote. huntsman has already ruled out competing in iowa and understands new hampshire is a must-win state. >> it is absolutely central to victory. this is a state you must win. >> reporter: in iowa, which votes first in a presidential contest, candidates were fighting for the social conservative vote. there were long shots newt gingrich and rick santorum. as well as tea party sensation michele bachmann. a recent poll has the minnesota congresswoman in a statistical dead heat with romney while gingrich and santorum barely made a dent in the single digits. tim pawlenty also polled poorly there. he raised a disappointing $4.2 million this quarter and has had no public event over the holiday weekend. but those in the bottom half of the poll can take comfort in the fact that the early polls don't tell us that much. this time four years ago mike huckabee was way down at 4% right where rick santorum is today. huckabee ended up winning iowa. >> jan crawford in washing
